Effective Date: Sep 14th, 2020
The following Privacy Policy governs the online information collection practices of SpencerCreekNursery.com. It outlines the types of information that we gather about you while you are using the SpencerCreekNursery.com website (the “Site”).
We respect your privacy and the rights to control your personal data. We want to be clear about the data, and why we collect it. Your data is protected by us, and we do not and will not sell your data to third parties. This privacy policy explains the information we collect and how we use it. Please read this privacy policy carefully to understand how we may collect, use, and share your personal information.
By visiting and using the Site, you agree that your use of our Site, and any dispute over privacy, is governed by this Privacy Policy. Because the Web is an evolving medium, we may need to change our Privacy Policy at some point in the future, in which case we’ll post the changes to this Privacy Policy on this website and update the Effective Date of the policy to reflect the date of the changes. By continuing to use the Site after we post any such changes, you accept the Privacy Policy as modified.
If you require any more information or have any questions about our privacy policy, please feel free to contact us by email at [email protected].
How We Collect and Use Information
We may collect and store personal or other information that you voluntarily supply to us online while using the Site (e.g., while on the Site or in responding via email to a feature provided on the Site). SpencerCreekNursery.com only contacts individuals that have signed up to receive our messaging or have purchased one of our products. SpencerCreekNursery.com collects personally identifying information from its users during online registration and online purchasing with consent. Generally, this information includes name and e-mail address for registration, or name, postal address, and credit card information when purchasing our products. All of this information is consensually provided to us by you.
We also collect and store information that is generated automatically as you navigate online through the Site, with your consent. For example, we may collect information about your computer’s connection to the Internet, which allows us, among other things, to improve the delivery of our web pages to you and to measure traffic on the Site.
Clicky Analytics
To measure traffic on our Site, we use Clicky Analytics. Clicky Analytics also tracks user behavior on the site in order to provide a more relevant customized experience of the website to the visitor. Clicky does not identify your name or address but uses a unique identifier that lets us know if you are a first-time user or a repeat visitor. For more information on what Clicky tracks, please see their own policy.
Cookies and Web Beacons
We also may use a standard feature found in browser software called a “cookie” to enhance your experience with the Site. Cookies are small files that your web browser places on your hard drive for record-keeping purposes. By showing how and when visitors use the Site, cookies help us deliver advertisements, identify how many unique users visit us, and track user trends and patterns. They also prevent you from having to re-enter your preferences on certain areas of the Site where you may have entered preference information before.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on SpencerCreekNursery.com. Google’s use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to SpencerCreekNursery.com and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy at the following URL: http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html
If you wish to disable cookies, you may do so through your individual browser options. More detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers’ respective websites.
The Site also may use web beacons (single-pixel graphic files also known as “transparent GIFs”) to access cookies and to count users who visit the Site or open HTML-formatted email messages.
Some of our advertising partners may use cookies and web beacons on our site. Our advertising partners include:
- Google Adsense

Log Files
Like many other Web sites, SpencerCreekNursery.com makes use of log files. The information inside the log files includes internet protocol ( IP ) addresses, type of browser, Internet Service Provider ( ISP ), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user’s movement around the site, and gather demographic information.

Google Analytics
We also use Google Analytics Advertiser Features to optimize our business. Advertiser features include:
- Remarketing with Google Analytics

- Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting
By enabling these Google Analytics Display features, we are required to notify our visitors by disclosing the use of these features and that we and third-party vendors use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first-party identifiers, and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to gather data about your activities on our holistic health and fitness site. Among other uses, this allows us to contact you if you begin to fill out our check-out form but abandon it before completion with an email reminding you to complete your order. The “Remarketing” feature allows us to reach people who previously visited our Site, and match the right audience with the right advertising message.
You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s ad settings and/or you may opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Information Sharing
We do not share your information with third parties for any purpose.
We do use your email address, and in rare cases, your mailing address (if you purchased a product and provided it to us) to send you content and inform you of products, services, and events that may be of interest to you (unless you instruct us otherwise). If you do not wish to continue to receive these communications, you may click the “unsubscribe” link provided at the bottom of the email to remove yourself completely from our database, or you may send a request to be removed from our database to [email protected].

If you decide to provide any information to these third-party providers, in the course of visiting their website or other pages that they direct you to, the privacy policy of that provider would apply to their use of your information. Their privacy policy may differ from ours. Please contact them directly if you have any questions about their policy.
Be aware that we may occasionally release information about our visitors when release is required to comply with law or to protect the rights, property or safety of users of the Site or the public.
Please also note that as our business grows, we may buy or sell various assets. In the unlikely event that we sell some or all of our assets, or one or more of our websites is acquired by another company, information about our users may be among the transferred assets.
